New York OA Trader

I recently heard from a Lodge #19 Haudenosaunee member about the lodges tentative plans for new patches in 2004
“Lodge 19 is considering as many as 13 new patches, many of which will be for
the NOAC 2004:
1. A one-piece NOAC flap matching the NE3B set.
2,3 - A 2-piece flap set for NOAC.
4 - A shoulder patch for NOAC.
5,6,7,8,9,10 - A 6-piece set shaped like oversized CSPs, to form one outer
circle (one to represent each chapter.
11 - A hexagon piece for the center of the circle, NOAC theme.
12 - A hexagon piece for the center of the circle, non-NOAC “regular” theme.
13 - Regular-issue flap with a sunrise/sunset sky (as opposed to day or
night).
Almost makes me want to quit. Almost.”

A lot of new issues, but I still have the bug too, so I’ll be looking for all of these myself.

For those of you who may not be familiar with it, the most extensive virtual collection of OA issues is on John Pannell’s www.oaimages.com The website currently contains over
36,000 images from 768 different lodges! Each Lodge is organized by Blue Book Listings which include Flaps, Jacket patches, odd-shapes, neckerchiefs, etc. It also includes Lodge event patches, and all known chapter issues.

As I pick up new issues, I try to provide a scan to John, this only makes the site more valuable. If each person reading this post, could check there home lodge, and where possible provide any missing scans it would be a great help.

There is also a Members Only area, where for a nominal annual subsrciption, currently $10.00. You will have access to prices realized on the various issues from eBay. This feature is about a year old, and already has pricing data from over 80,000 eBay transactions.

The purpose of this blog is to publish information about new Lodge and Chapter issues from New York State OA Lodges, the discovery of older uncatalogued issues, warnings about fakes, spoof, and reporductions and other information/musings that may be of interest to other NY OA Collecters (or at least amusing to me).
